Popular theatre troupe Batighar will stage its acclaimed production “Parabola” at the Studio Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) this evening.

Adopted from Italian playwright Dario Fo’s drama “Accidental Death of an Anarchist”, Parabola is the 17th production of Batighar.

Shahana Joy and Khalid Hasan Rumi have jointly translated the drama into Bengali while Batigar’s founder and president Sanjoy Sarker Muktonil has directed the project.

The play is based on a true story of Italy. The story of the production is that, a railroad worker named Pinelli was accused by the Milan police of conspiring to carry out a bomb attack. During interrogation, Pinelli mysteriously falls to his death from the fourth floor of the police headquarters.

“Parabola” addresses corruption, extrajudicial killing, flaws in investigation and others through sharp dialogues, jokes and taunts.

 The probable cast of the play includes Sanjoy Sarker Muktonil, Foisal Mahmud, Tazim Ahmed, Shaibal Sanyal, Shishir Sarker, Sohanur Rahman, Rumman Sharu and others.

Tanzil Ahmed designed stage lighting and Tazim Ahmed designed props and costumes, among others, in the play.

The troupe will also stage another show of the play on Wednesday at the same venue.

Theatre troupe Batighar started its journey in 2012.  Since then, the troupe has presented many popular plays, including “Monkey Trial”, “Himur Kolpito Diary”, “Radcliffe Line”, “Urnajaal”, “Olikhito Upakhyan” and “Bhogoban Paliye Gechhe” to the audience.
